The first time I opend the start menu on Windows 10 after mostly using linux, it included news about Kim Kardashian. Since then, my thoughts have been sealed about Windows.
- danbolt 8y agoSame thing! After using Linux abroad I started a new job using a Windowns 10 workstation and it showed me a picture of the President of the United States. It took a while to get the menu cleaned up too.
- signal11 8y agoI just paid $5 for Start10. No more default Win10 Start menu, ever. Best $5 I ever spent. There are free options too, like Classic Shell.
- nojvek 8y agoI used to work for Microsoft on Edge Browser. Our tests ran on a clean version of Windows. Seeing the ads pop up in start menu, MSN homepage on Edge, little squares ads on bing page made me a bit miserable, day by day. The default experience was garbage thrown in your face. The leadership had to drive revenue growth and msn/ads were a money maker. That’s how they get promoted and we had to play their game. Seeing that ladder chasing culture made me quit. Very few companies actually legit give a shit about their users and the user experience. It’s so easy to blindly do things that annoy users but make a quick buck.
- signal11 8y agoOOBE on Windows 10 has gone to the dogs. Live Tiles on the default Windows 10 Start Menu — especially if you buy an OEM laptop — look gaudy and distract you from the task at hand. I just wish Microsoft realised that this is making Apple’s systems more attractive.
